Original version with 42 camera views in 7 rows,
designed based on the Donner Summit WebCams page,
with some cameras from the long-unmaintained Sierra Nevada Mountain WebCams page
Includes the option to show the last 24 hours of data from several regional SNOTEL and
California Cooperative Snow Surveys hourly telemetry sites below the webcams
Later wrote a new external script to grab data from CDEC (such as the
California Cooperative Snow Surveys telemetry sites), which downloads the data and formats it to match the style of the SNOTEL data, the script makes maintenance of these
pages much easier by moving all CDEC telemetry code into a single location instead of separate code on each individual California Mountain WebCams page
The combinaton of the new script with the SNOTEL script finally allows the freedom
to put these numerous telemetry sites in a more logical geographic order, instead of favoring separate rows for telemetry from different data sources
Later expanded to 51 camera views in 8 rows, adding a couple more views of Lake Tahoe, several cams along US 50 west of Placerville,
1 cam along the western part of SR 88 and 2 cams near its eastern end in Minden, NV
Added image modification times for over a dozen images which did not have timestamps
Added an option to disable the Nevada DOT cams (by appending "&nv=off" to the URL) if this page is not loading properly,
as server issues on that website are often the cause of such problems

February 2016

Expanded to 54 camera views, adding 2 cams near Minden-Tahoe Airport and another cam farther west on US 50 in Nimbus
Major internal PHP code cleanup, updating and/or deleting legacy code left over from very long ago, from the
Mount Rainier Paradise WebCams webpage (March 2009) on which all of these "Webcams + Telemetry Pages" are based,
and even from the original Washington Mountain WebCams webpage (December 2004) on which the Rainier page was based
Added 5 more regional RAWS hourly telemetry sites
which have precip, wind, solar, and other sensors (but not snowdepth), data from 3 of these sites are available on the CDEC website, the other 2 sites only via
MesoWest, and also added a HADS site with similar data
Added descriptive dividers between major subregions of the webcam images and of the telemetry sites, to clarify the layout of this fairly large and complex page

March 2016

Added 2 more regional RAWS hourly telemetry sites
which have precip, wind, solar, and other sensors (but not snowdepth), along with 1 CIMIS hourly telemetry site
which has similar sensors, along with the Heavenly Mountain Resort and Alpha (DRI) telemetry sites, all with data available from
MesoWest, and also added a CDEC site near Placerville with data similar to RAWS
Fixed all Weather Underground camera URLs, which now apparently need "?time()" appended in order to update properly

December 2016

Expanded to 56 camera views, adding 2 more new Tahoe Fire Cameras at Big Hill and Sierra-at-Tahoe,
plus fixed several camera URLs which had changed
Added the new Skyland RAWS telemetry site, which was installed in August 2016
